About the PR
This PR adds a new thing for all of the bad guys to use: The sawfly. Keep in mind I've set nothing in stone and if you disagree with literally anything I've done for them, I'm open to suggestion or compromise.


# Demos:
Below is a (slightly outdated) pretty exhaustive video demo, but if reading's your style, I've typed it out as well.

Sawfly audio demo:

The sawfly is a 1 second grenade that, on priming, spawns a 50 HP drone which will attack anyone around who isn't syndicate. This drone can be turned back into a grenade by clicking it on with help or disarm intent, provided you're of syndicate affiliation.
Furthermore, there is a rarer cluster grenade of the sawfly that spawns five drones at a given location.

-As a traitor, you can spend 2 TC to get 1 sawfly grenade and a remote.
-As a nukie, you can get a pouch of 4 for 1 utility credit, or buy singles from the nukie uplink, as well as sawfly cluster grenades, which spawn 5 of them at a time
-Both singles and clusters will also show up in the spy thief menu.

Most forms of sawflies come with a remote. This is a special item that can be hidden in clothing, and will fold/unfold any sawflies or grenades in a small radius. To prevent detection, the remote can be broken by clicking it twice with anything that does more than 3 damage. Furthermore, emagging the remote makes it so that all sawflies which would normally get folded instead roll a coinflip to explode/burst into flames after a short warning. Since you have to be close in order for this to happen, I feel like it's balanced, and adds a little more interaction.

All audios are made by me, with sampling from https://freesound.org/people/Isaroru/sounds/560343/ for their revving audio

Why's this needed?

I think it'll be an interesting thing to have and people have been bouncing around the idea of a manhack for a while
